United Way Week 2024 - Giving back to our community.

What is United Way Week? 

• United Way Week is a special time when DOCUmation partners with our local United Way to make a lasting impact on the community. Throughout the week, our employees participate in volunteer activities and contribute through monetary donations, with the goal of uplifting and supporting those in need. This week unites our team, strengthens our community, and reflects our commitment to giving back. DOCUmation proudly supports United Way’s mission of improving lives, and together, we create a better future for Texans. 

Why We Participate 

Our Commitment to Community Engagement 

• At DOCUmation, we embrace core values of High Quality, Character, Professionalism, Innovation, Inspired Attitude, Exceptional Service, and Community. These values drive everything we do, and community engagement remains central to our mission. United Way Week provides an opportunity for us to put these values into action by giving back to our Texas community. By joining forces with United Way, we work toward our shared goal of improving the lives of our fellow Texans and strengthening our communities. 

Benefits to Employees and the Community 

• United Way Week empowers our employees to participate in meaningful volunteer work, fostering connections with their coworkers and the larger community. Many of our team members care deeply about causes close to their hearts, and this week channels that passion into action. Working alongside United Way representatives, we introduce our team to areas of need within Texas, demonstrating how every person can make a difference. Volunteerism not only benefits the community but also enhances mental well-being by providing a sense of purpose, building social connections, and offering relief from daily stress.
